rexr's awesome adventure

[bikeslut 1]

:clapping: As I am approaching Casa de rexr, I get a call from XRL bum in Big Bear... uh.. Bob... I'm only at 5000 feet and it is wicked... ice and snow and wind; I can't imagine what it'll be like up the mountain.

I've known Mike, at least by reputation for a few years now... he wasn't telling us NOT to, but he was sure giving me an out... I met with rexr and hoss, and we took the out... saved some driving, and motored out from rex's house on two wheels... that's right! A NICE weathered dual sport ride... rex and hoss pieced together some really nice trails, and along with hoss-friends Forrest and Larry, we got a great ride in

rex's other toys

lined up and ready to roll

first stop

also at the first stop; Larry's fuel hose on his XR600 cracked, and it took a leak... so a little trailside surgery is in order

Right at the bottom of HIxon, rex was running lead, and clipped a rock... broke the spring retaining clip on his frame, and it was prop a bike the rest of the day

flowers in case anybody cares

near the top of hixon

Thomas Mountain- weather starting to get a little - uh.. cold

More Thomas Mountain- really freaking cold

Tried to thaw out at Anza

Larry and his non-starting XR

A nice little trail rex had found... while Larry had fits with his XR, we saw this little guy

Forrest running up a little ridge trail

Larry finally got the XR re-started and we got about 5 miles closer to home, when it quit...

This is all the great minds figuring out what to do... You'll see there are not 5 minds there

hmmmm much of that ride looks vaguely familiar rex seem to remember a beer under that sombraro ??

looks like a nice chili day, probably good call to avert the big bear ride if it was snowing on Thomas mtn.

i keep telling you guys about those HONDAS :clapping: im just surprised it was the XR not the crfx just kidding...let the barrage commence

really bummed i missed this ride...petcocks will be here hopefully by wednesday

Hixon looked really pretty....Thomas Mountain didn't look quite as nice. :clapping:

Was thinking of a street ride today after I cleaned the carb bank on the 550. Usually head for the mountains. Soooo glad I didn't go.

[bikeslut 1]

yes- he mentioned that the two of you had previously done most of this same ride... much slower

jk- I actually had a pretty bad day... two slow speed tips on Alessandro... then my front knobby starting going away... serious chunking, and it was pushing on every turn, no matter how slow or firm... I was lucky to only drop it twice

really now- WHO would ever do two drops in one day?

:clapping:

yeah yeah my tire thats the problem...my tire is bad.... :clapping:

good food at that little restaurant eh, la casita i think. i had a huge burrito there. never go wrong with pacifico either

Thomas was pretty miseable... it was my first time on snow, though... SLIP AND SLIDE... it was fun in a "as long as I don't fall off the side and end up as a slutsicle way"

kelly.. i was having a bad day before the tire It just made it worse

I know rex and hoss got some pics, too...

Nice write up Bob...

It was a great day and a great ride. Here are some additional pictures..

Fixing the fuel line

Bottom of Hixon

A nice little climb

Break time.. Notice my bike on its side.. No kickstand.. Dohhh

Is is getting a little chilly or is it me..

Hey what is that white stuff??

Our little friend..

i like some suspension too, and now that im old and broken i really like a seat too....but my favorite is a throttle

[ADV Bum 205]

At 5000' we ended up with about 5-6 inches. Cold, breezy, snow, lightning and thunder. I could only imagine what Big Bear would of ended up like. Was pretty envious that you guys were still going to get a good ride out of the day.

Could not get crap done, but I did get to see the Blackhawks make into the Stanley Cup finals.

:clapping:

Oh here we go.. When Kelly and I did the ride I was on Avon Distanza's (street tire) and didn't fall once.. I go for a ride with the slut and end up falling 3 times and breaking my kickstand.. What the heck man??

[kellymac530 0]

nice ride rex :clapping:

The kickstand itself did not break. Just the little piece on the frame that holds the spring. I am going to drill a hole were it was welded on and thread it so that I can put a bolt in there to hold the spring.

Good thing you were wearing helmets! :clapping:

Wow the hail came down out there. Great photo

[dirt dame 559]

Yeah, I thought that was a pretty impressive picture of the hail coming down, too.

Yeah that stuff hurts when you are moving..

[dirt dame 559]

Yeah that stuff hurts when you are moving..

It's even more fun when you aren't wearing a helmet, because you are on the water in a boat.
